Re: Classic Car Dioramas
Always a pleasure to look at your work, John!
It's been a great inspiration to me of late. (more photos would be nice though  )

Re: Classic Car Dioramas
Truly amazing work sir! Your detail work is fantastic from your aircraft engines to the nail spacing on your buildings. May I ask what scale you are working in?
Thank you for sharing!

Re: Classic Car Dioramas
Lovely, John
 I would like to ask your advice on something - painting some cobblestones. Would you be willing to share some advice with me on how you would go about painting cardboard to look like cobblestones? You can find the "raw material" here: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...2&postcount=47

Re: Classic Car Dioramas
Wow! I like it just as it is.I would just spray it with clear matte lacquer.The grey tones and patterns are just great as they are.
If you were going to weather the car ,then paint and a little weathering of the cobblestones would be in order.Otherwise I would leave it as is. Lacquer also makes a great sealer for wood and cardboard prior to painting.Dries in 30 mins and doesn't change the color. If the surface is a little rough I would also consider using pastels for weathering.

Re: Classic Car Dioramas
Thanks John. Unfortunately it does need painting. It's not quite so clear in the photos I think, but in 1/1 it looks like cardboard and the grey/white contrast is quite harsh.
I am hoping to get a more natural stone finish but am not sure what kind of colr washes to use. Wish me luck!
